Bloom Bass Impulse

Groundbreaking Bass

Bloom Bass Impulse merges an extensive array of modern synth bass loops, samples, and one-shots into a versatile and dynamic instrument, meticulously crafted to inject your tracks with low-end and tailored to fuel genres that demand contemporary bass sounds.

From the pulsating energy of Drum and Bass’s Reese Bass to the acid squelch of 303s, the gritty growl of distorted basses, the depths of Sub-Bass, the precision of Tech, to the wobble of Dubstep, this tool is a treasure trove for anyone looking to anchor their tracks with a spectrum of cutting-edge bass.

What Can Bloom Bass Impulse Do?

• Elevate your tracks with a spectrum of modern, powerful basslines.
• Seamlessly blend between bass styles for genre-defying productions.
• Shape and sculpt unique bass layers with expressive modulation.
• Form dynamic sequences from a rich library of contemporary bass sounds.
• (New!) Allow you to import your own samples and personalise the instrument.

Bloom Bass Impulse offers an intuitive path to finding the perfect bass sound, providing you with high-quality, royalty-free loops and one-shots ready to be morphed and manipulated. Switch between bass styles with ease, enhance their character with extensive effect modulation and tailor them to fit any mix with an array of focused processing options.

Crafting the ideal bassline is now an intuitive and engaging process, allowing for hands-on control over sample triggering and sound shaping. Four macro controls offer instant tonal adjustments, while the Edit page unveils detailed customisation tools, giving you complete control over sample manipulation, sequence creation, modulation and effects across 250 presets.

How it Works

Choose a key to work in, pick a preset or sample bank, and ignite one of 14 bpm-synced bass loops across two octaves. White keys initiate bass samples and loops, while black keys adjust characteristics such as playback speed and pitch, besides triggering bespoke sequences and effect modulation.

The four innovative macro controls: Sub-EQ for additional low-end tone shaping, Noise for texture, Crush for sample-rate reduction, and Width for subtle to extreme stereo expansion - steer a bespoke chain of effects, fine-tuned for the curated selection of bass samples that form the instrument.

The Main Page

With eight banks of sounds, each dedicated to a different type of bass, Bloom Bass Impulse provides a versatile foundation for any project. Trigger a sample with a MIDI white note to add bass to your track instantly, or utilise the Phrase Player to weave the sample into a complex bassline. The Phrase Player does more than just playback samples; it's a creative tool for modulating and morphing effect properties, enabling each sound bank to offer a broad spectrum of tonal possibilities.

The Edit Page: Shape Your Sound

Bloom Bass Impulse's Edit page is where you take full control over its bass content, allowing for the precise tailoring of the existing samples to craft something truly individual.

In the Sample Edit section, modify the 14 source samples in each bank. Set sample start and end points, and adjust trigger types, playback direction and speed. Refine pitch, formant settings, and the envelope's attack and release, alongside setting up choke groups for dynamic bass interactions.

Import Your Own Samples

Make the Bloom instrument your own with the ability to drag and drop audio files into it. You can do this via the waveform view on the edit page or any empty slot on the banks page. Set the key and BPM of your samples to make them integrate seamlessly with the Bloom engine.

Sequencing Reimagined

The Phrase Player lets you sequence bass samples with precision. Assign one of the five black keys to trigger a pattern of samples, modulate pitch, velocity, hi-cut/lo-cut filters and dive deep into the three effects: Saturation, Filter and Reverb. Familiar arpeggiator features like Rate, Latching, and Swing provide a familiar but powerful foundation for your workflow.

Phrase Player Section

Bloom Bass Impulse incorporates three bespoke effects modules: Saturation for warmth and edge; an Envelope Filter for audio-responsive frequency sculpting; and Reverb for adding spatial dimensions. These configurable effects modules are crucial for transforming and refining your bass sounds, presenting primary controls for quick adjustments and advanced options for deeper exploration.
